Carlotta, seeking Ethan's attention, calls him to Elysium Hot Springs. He initially dismisses her but changes his mind when he hears Danielle's voice in the background. Ethan rushes to the hot springs, ignoring other women, and finds Celeste Linden about to fall. He catches her just in time, pulling her into his arms.

Celeste Linden looked up, and Ethan Barnes’s handsome face enlarged in her view.

Why was he here?

Now his strong, athletic arm was wrapped around her soft waist, and the constant masculine power permeated through her thin clothes to her body, this skin contact made her quickly jump up, wanting to distance herself from him.

But tragically, there was water underfoot, quite slippery, she got up too quickly, and the next second her feet slipped again.

Ah!

Celeste Linden exclaimed again, she just wanted to ask who else besides her had slipped and fallen twice in one day?

This luck is really so good it’s no friends.

At this moment, Ethan Barnes reached out and held her from the front, her slender and soft body fell into his embrace, he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"I’m okay." Celeste Linden looked up.

But the two people’s faces were too close, he looked down, she looked up, her red lips accidentally brushed against his handsome cheek.

She actually kissed him.

Celeste Linden suddenly stiffened.

Ethan Barnes’s tall and handsome body also stiffened.

Their eyes met, Ethan Barnes’s gaze was deep and intense, Celeste Linden was filled with fear.

Soon she came to her senses, she reached out with her small hands to press against his chest, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..."

Ethan Barnes didn’t let go of her, her soft body was right in his arms, he could even smell her fragrance, just like before.

He glanced down at her, smiled and said, "What didn’t you mean?"

A blush spread across Celeste Linden’s beautiful little face, extending to her snow-white behind ears, she was very uncomfortable, knowing he was teasing her on purpose.

"Please let go of me, don’t forget your status, you’re a married man." Celeste Linden reminded.

Ethan Barnes held her dominantly, he lifted his thin lips, "Celeste Linden."

He called her name softly.

"What?"

Celeste Linden was still pushing him, but his body was like steel, no matter how much she pushed she couldn’t move him.

"Celeste Linden, what if I divorced?"

What?

The word "divorce" exploded in Celeste Linden’s ears, she trembled with incredibly shocked and looked at him, "You want to divorce Carlotta? But isn’t Carlotta your responsibility?"

She understood this man too well, he had a strong sense of mission, unable to let go of the burden of Carlotta.

Ethan Barnes knew she understood him, this marriage she understood better than anyone, he didn’t say much, just lowered his voice and murmured softly, "Celeste Linden, I...really want...you."

What did he say?

Just then Danielle ran over, "Mommy~"

Celeste Linden was startled, she immediately pushed Ethan Barnes away.

Ethan Barnes was caught off guard and stepped back a few steps.

"Danielle, why are you calling mommy, do you want mommy to play with you, where is Joy, let’s go, mommy will take you to find Joy." Celeste Linden took Danielle’s little hand and was about to leave.

At this moment Danielle saw Ethan Barnes, she immediately smiled sweetly, with a childish voice, "Uncle, hello."

Ethan Barnes really wanted to hug his daughter, but he forcibly restrained himself and didn’t move, "Hello Danielle."

Celeste Linden took Danielle away.

...

Mother and daughter walked away, Danielle looked up and smiled, "Mommy, I just saw you hugging the uncle, hehe~"

Celeste Linden gasped, embarrassed enough to want to dig a hole, unlike Willow Crawford, she was very reserved by nature, "Danielle, you saw wrong."

"I did not see wrong, mommy even blushed, hehe~" Danielle pointed at Celeste Linden’s very red face.
